The Hampton Hat is the essential modern little girls accessory! Fitted bucket-style that is fully lined and padded with fleece to give it a weighty and 'real hat' feel (not those thin cotton floppy hats)

We Will need 2 pattern testers for each size range 12m-2T

2T/3T

4T/5T

What you have to do:

1. intermediate to advanced sewing experience (nothing against newbies and not that this is a hard pattern to sew, i just need people who have used a lot of patterns before and know what makes sense :) )

2. Item to be finished in 1 Week or less of getting the pattern(this should only take you a couple hours anyway)

3. Check pdf for spelling mistakes or pattern labeling mistakes, or any other mistakes (...there are probably a lot :) )

4. Provide a good Picture of the finished product, preferably in action on a little one (Bonus **if it is a great picture and we use it on our website - you could get even more free patterns! yay)

....not too hard right?

what you need:

1/4 yard of lightweight to med. weight material for outer shell

1/4 yard of lightweight material for lining

1/4 of fusible fleece or heavy interfacing

matching thread, sewing machine (obviously!)

fabric flowers, crocheted flowers, feathers, buttons....or any other embellishment you would like

If you think you are up to being a tester for us - please comment below with the size you would like to test (although you will be getting the full pdf will all the sizes i want you only to test the one size) along with your contact info.

I will pick the testers on first come, first serve, so comment soon!

I will be in touch with the 'chosen ones' in a day or two with the pdf
